We started the class yesterday with a speaking activity to revise work collocations, modal verbs and expressions that meant permission, ability and possibility. Students were given a set of cards with different jobs written on them. They were divided in groups and the other members of the group had to ask yes/no questions in order to guess the job that was written on the card. Some of the questions asked included:
Are you supposed to meet deadlines?
Should you have a university degree?
Are you able to take time off work?
Do you have to work overtime?
After this we looked at the idiom of the day, this time related to food: piece of cake. Although no one got it right, some students came up with interesting theories.
We continued the lesson checking the homework, state verbs versus activity verbs and a text on page 17 to be completed with the present simple or continuous.
We started then unit 2C. We had a look at the vocabulary section: expressions related to sleep.
be wide awake / snore / have a nap / be fast asleep / be a light sleeper
You can practise these expressions doing this online exercise.

And to conclude the lesson, while students were yawning, they talked in pairs about their sleeping habits.
For homework students must do the reading exercise on page 18 and exercise 7 from page 19. They must also write about how they slept the previous night.
